About East Neuk Veterinary Clinic
The practice is located in the picturesque village of St Monans in the East Neuk of Fife. We are surrounded by beaches, coastal walks and quirky local, cafes, shops and businesses. Although a quiet setting we are only an hour away from Edinburgh and a 45-minute drive to Dundee, so the hustle and bustle of city living is not far away.
The practice is well equipped with 4 consulting rooms, 3 operating theatres, an excellent x-ray machine and a CT machine which is mainly run by the nursing team, as well as dental x-ray and ultrasound facilities. We offer both First Opinion and Orthopaedic Referral and the nurses rotate between both domains.
Come and join our amazing team!
The team are a hard-working bunch, we currently have 11 day nurses and 3 night nurses who work together to ensure patient care is priority around the clock! We have two Orthopaedic vets, one of which is a European Diplomat, the other a certificate holder, as well as two additional surgeons undertaking their residencies. We have a reception and admin team who work together to keep the practice running smoothly and ensure our client care is kept to a high standard. The team work well together and are always up for a laugh and joke to keep them going through the day!
